I hope I didn't make a mistake.

I did it. I bought it. I hates it that I bought it, but I did. I had a $25 gift cirtificate to Wal-mart and picked up Lost season 3. I wasn't too happy with it when I watched it on TV. There were too many commercials and It didn't hold me as well. I did watch most of the first two seasons on DVD, so maybe I was too spoiled. But, the episodes I did see of the first two seasons did seem to have less commercials and better breaks. I guess we'll see. I'm contemplating not watching season 4 or reading any of your blogs until it comes out on DVD.

Now That's Dramatic

SO VERY DRAMATIC

Time, the past has come and gone

More and more I am amazed at how quickly time passes us by. I am even more amazed at how much things can change in a year, how much I have changed. The first half of last year was one of the worst of my life. My A.D.D. kicked into high gear, my back was doing worse than it had in a while, and all the struggles in school had left me feeling as if I had wasted the last couple years of my life. Last year was also a year of great loss: my sweet grandmother, Matt's wonderful mother(my aunt and second mom), and my faithful friend, Shadow.

The middle of my year was a mix. It was Marcy. She really forced me to take a good look at what I was working towards and to figure out if it was right or not. In many ways it tore me in two. In the end, thought, I had to trust in God to let her go so I could continue following the path He had placed me on. Though it was rough loosing her, I am glad that I felt the warmth of her light, even if for only a season. She taught my heart how to love again.

Oddly enough, the second half of '07 was one of the best five months of my life. I love Florida. I love the people God has placed in my life. They lift me up and encourage me constantly. I feel as if I am nearly complete. I see accomplishment where I thought would be failure. My health is returning to me. I feel more like myself, more balanced, and more in tuned with God's plan than I have felt in years.

As always, I thank God for all those people He has placed around me, old friends and new. If I have any new year resolutions, I think it would probably be to draw closer with friends and family and to try and live a less self-focused life. I guess we'll see how it goes.

Movie Night

SO I saw a couple of good movies the other night. The first film is entitled "Once." It is awesome! The film's two main characters are musicians in real life: The Frames' front man, Glen Hansard and Eastern European pianist Marketa Irglova. It's like watching a live acoustic concert. The music is amazing. The acting is charming. So Watch it. It was so good, I bought the sound track the day after I watched it.


When I got home from Nate's house, I flipped on the TV and found one of my favorite films was on. It's an Italian film called "Life is Beautiful." I was a little disappointed that it was doubed. I enjoy the subtitle experience.

The film is a comedy placed during WWII in Italy. The main character, Guido, spends the first half of the movie doing crazy antics, tying to win the heart of his love, Dora. The second half, he uses his antics to try and convince his son that the concentration camp that they are in is part of a giant game that they have signed up for. Its touching and hilarious. You should check it out.
